New Delhi: Attacking the government over non-implementation of 'one-rank-one-pension' scheme, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said he will "pressurise" the Centre to act on the issue at the earliest.

After meeting a delegation from the ex-servicemen cell of the party, Gandhi said the UPA government had made provisions for the scheme and had even allocated money but the Narendra Modi government failed to implement the scheme.

"We had alloted money and also taken a decision. One year has passed and this should happen at the earliest. We will pressurise the government and ask them to take a decision at the earliest," Gandhi told reporters after the meeting with the delegation at the AICC headquarters here.

Former Minister of State for Defence and Congress leader Jitendra Singh accused the government of being anti-soldier. He said the UPA government first took an initiative on the issue in 2006, then in 2009 and 2013.Singh said the party fears that the government was "diluting" some of the provisions.
